Plot
Well-to-do Fisherman Zebedee of Capernaum dreams of having a large fleet of fishing boats on the Sea of Galilee; but his dream is shattered when his two sons desert the fishing trade to become followers of an unusual carpenter, Jesus of Nazareth, who has come to Capernaum and is creating something of a sensation as he heals the sick, performs miracles, and teaches that the kingdom of God is at hand.
Finally, after Jesus the Christ is crucified and resurrected, Zebedee comes to understand God's love for man. Then, he declares, as he talks to the Sea of Galilee:
"O Heart-Shaped Sea, you are the most fortunate sea in all the world.…
This day, the Son of God, the Risen Christ, walked along your shores!
"And, O Sea of Galilee, I am the most fortunate man in all the world. The
Son of God, the Risen Christ, chose my two sons to walk with Him."
